Celtic Music on Community Radio

Easter Sunday playlist

There are very few folks songs in the Celtic genre that deal specifically with Easter; probably because it was considered an inappropriate subject for the “small music” (ceol beg) of the people. There are, however, quite a few that mention chickens or rabbits – providing a tenuous connection to certain Easter traditions.
